Downtown Portland

Everything you’ve heard about Portland is true, and it’s all encapsulated right outside our doorstep in the vibrant downtown area. Step out and stroll through the Central Business District or hop on the Streetcar for easy access to some of PDX’s other noteworthy neighborhoods.

Portland Waterfront

Our location just steps from the Willamette River gives you tons of water options, whether you want to be around it (while jogging along the Waterfront Park Trail), on it (rent a kayak for a leisurely paddle), or just gazing at it (a perfectly lovely choice).

Portland State University

Less than a mile away, you’ll find the 49-acre campus (aka Tree Campus USA) of one of the nation’s most innovative universities (so ranked by U.S. News & World Report), which lives by this motto: “Let knowledge serve the city.”

Reed College

In the Eastmoreland neighborhood of Southeast Portland exists the brainy enclave of Reed College, where the university’s culture prizes creative thinking and intellectual curiosity, all on a beautiful campus centered around a forested nature preserve.

Portland Festivals

Festivals abound year-round, many right outside our front steps at Tom McCall Waterfront Park. You’ll find everything from flowers and feasts to brews and blues to films and floats. Check out what’s happening while you’re in town.

Mark your Calendar

“Boredom” and “Portland” aren’t often in the same sentence. That’s because there’s always something going on in the City of Roses. Between fun at the hotel, funky annual festivals, and a year-round farmers market, there’s an event for you.
